The Goya Awards, the Film of the Year Awards awarded by the Spanish Academy of Arts and Film Sciences, named after the Spanish master of art Francesco Goya, were first awarded in 1987 and currently include 28 regular awards and a lifetime honorary award. The winner receives a bronze bust of Goya. The awards ceremony brought together all the heavyweight films of the Spanish film industry in the past year and was called the "Oscar" of Spain.
The 31st Goya Awards ceremony took place on 4 February 2017 at the Marriot Auditorium Hotel in Madrid.
Coast Jun has always been very fond of Spanish movies. Spanish films are not as big as American blockbusters, nor are they as literary as French films, but they have a sense of humor, dramatic tension, dare to face social problems, and have many very good works. Yesterday we spit out the bright-eyed dresses of the stars on the red carpet, and today we will talk about whose "Goya Award" fell.
The awards ceremony lasted from 22:00 to 01:00 in the evening, with a total of 29 grand prizes being presented.
Best Picture
Late for Anger
The Chinese translation of this film is "The Sin of Belated". In Madrid in 2007, a young man was arrested and jailed for his involvement in a jewelry robbery, when he was only the driver in charge of driving and the only one who did not escape. After 8 years, he was released from prison and planned to start a new life with his girlfriend and son, but he did not expect that a stranger was waiting for him, and there was an unexpected complication...
Previously, at the Venice Film Festival, Ruth Díaz won the Best Actress Award for this film.
Best Director
Juan Antonio Bayona
Spain's young director Juan Antonio Bayona won the best director award for his un monstruo viene a verme ("Monster Call"), which was on fire last year.

The film was the highest grossing film in Spain in 2016, grossing €26.29 million, the fifth-highest-grossing film in the history of Spanish filmmaking.

Best New Director
Raul Arevalo
Raúl Arévalo won best new director for best picture for "The Sin Of Belated", a young actor and director who is only 38 years old. And the above Juan Antonio Bayona, who won the best director, is only 42 years old, and it seems that the Spanish film industry is really pushing the front wave of the Yangtze River!
Best Actor
Roberto Alamo
Spanish actor Roberto Álamo won best actor for his outstanding acting skills in Que Dios nos perdone ("May God Forgive Us"). Roberto Álamo won Best Supporting Actor at the 28th Goya Awards for "My Grand Spanish Wedding".
"May God Forgive Us" is one of the favorites of the coastal jun in last year's film, with a Douban synopsis: Madrid, 2011, the hottest August of all time, 1.5 million pilgrims are waiting for the Pope to visit. The entire city is under surveillance by security forces. Several elderly women were brutally raped and killed, and two inspectors who did not want to deal with had to cooperate with each other to resolve the case, and they received clear instructions: solve the case as soon as possible, but not quietly. What exactly is hidden?
Best Actress
Emma Suarez
Emma Suárez won Best Actress for the film of the famous Almodóvar. In Almodóvar's 2016 film Julietta, Emma Suárez plays the role of a mother, interpreting the theme that Almodóvar is best at: the mother-daughter relationship.
Best Supporting Actor
Manolo Solo
Manolo Solo, who played the role of Triana in "Belated Evil", was rated by critics as one of the most iconic images on the screen in 2016. The usual image of this guy is a tease, and he feels that he should go to comedy, but there are very unexpected performances in the movie, in the words of the film critic: Manolo Solo showed a high degree of plasticity in this film, his eloquence, speaking style is just right, there is a familiar sense of disgust, just what the character needs.
Best Supporting Actress
Emma Suárez is arguably the big winner of this Goya Award, having just won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for the film's suspense film La próxima piel ("The Next Skin"). In this film, Emma Suárez still plays a mother whose son accidentally disappeared in the mountains when she was 9 years old, and 8 years later, by chance, she found that the child was not dead. The son who lives with his family seems both familiar and strange, what really happened 8 years ago? Is this child really his own child?
Nominated for Best Actor
Carlos Santos
Carlos Santos was nominated for Best Actor for the film El Hombre de las mil caras (The Man with a Thousand Faces). This film coast jun went to the cinema to see, is based on the real history, simply put, a super professional fool to deceive the whole country, deceive politicians, bankers, national police, and their partners... Zero cost puts the huge amount of embezzlement money of politicians into their own pockets. The character is based on the famous multiple agent Francisco Paesa in Spanish history.
Nominated for Best Actress
Anna Castillo
Ánna Castillo was nominated for Best Actress for her performance in El Olivo ("The Olive Tree"). Ánna plays a loving granddaughter in this film. Because of the economic crisis, the family sold the olive tree that their grandchildren loved, which was two thousand years old and existed in Roman times, filled with the memories of generations of Spaniards. Ever since the olive tree was dug up, Grandpa had become less and less of a talker. The granddaughter tried everything to find the olive trees in her memory throughout Europe, and the whole village came to help. A super heartwarming piece full of southern Spanish flair.
Best costume
1898. The Last of the Philippines
《1898. The Last Years of the Philippines won the Award for Best Costume, but to be honest, The Coast Jun didn't pay much attention to the costumes because he was completely attracted to the plot.
The Philippines has been inextricably linked to Spain since the age of discovery, and many parts of the Philippines have been occupied by the Spaniards for hundreds of years. Until the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Spain was defeated by the United States and signed the "Treaty of Paris", and Spain sold philippine sovereignty to the United States for $20 million.
The film tells this history from the perspective of the last Spanish troops stationed in the Philippines. When the war ended, the last garrison could not believe that their government had sold the garrison to others so easily, and had been fighting alone to be loyal to the Spanish Empire, and as a result, their lives and youth were regarded as a child's play by the state, and what was the point of killing innocent Filipino civilians? The film does not tell history from the perspective of any country and government, but from the perspective of human nature, making people deeply feel the evil and stupidity of war.
Best Animated Feature
Psychonauts, the forgotten children
The dark animation "Forgotten Children", based on director Alberto Vazquez's picture book of the same name, has won several international animation awards. The two protagonists, DINKY and BIRDBOY, live on an oppressive island, and the animation shows the crises of modern society through poetic narration. The first sentence of the trailer is scared: "Not all those who have bodies are alive." In short, a dark animation, but still full of hope.
Best Documentary
Fragile balance
The best documentary winner was "Fragile Balance." The documentary chronicles three lives that take place in parallel in three parts of the world. A civil servant in Tokyo, Japan, whose focus is basically on work; where Africa and Europe meet, where people are once again trying to cross borders and dream of a better life; a Family in Madrid who has been trying to live a "normal" life recognized by the system, but whose house has been taken away... Such contradictions are playing out all the time on the earth, in different places and cultures, but the human dilemma is very similar.
To quote director Guillermo García López: "Al final lo importante del ser humano es sentirse vivo, salir con fuerzas y con ganas de luchar" (As a human being, ultimately, the most important thing is to feel alive, to live hard, and to do your best.) ”
Best Iberian Film
The illustrious citizen

Best Spanish Short Film
Timecode
Time Code, a 15-minute short film from Spain, shined at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It is said that after the short film was screened, the laughter, applause and cheers of the audience were so enthusiastic that the other shortlisted short films were instantly eclipsed. In the end, it also deservedly won the Palme d'Or for short films at the Cannes Film Festival. Some time ago, the famous Chinese director Jia Zhangke created a "global short film Chinese premiere platform" - "Ke Premiere", which took "Time Code" as the first short film work officially launched by the platform.
Best Spanish Documentary Short Film
Talking Heads
"Talking Head", this short film interviews many people of different ages, identities, and occupations, from 1-year-old children to centenarians. The questions are all the same: who you are and what kind of life you pursue. Different people talk about their dreams, their problems, their difficulties... All kinds of answers peeled back the cocoon and carved out the state of human existence. From young people full of dreams and ambitions, until centenarians face a bleak life. At the end of the film, the centenarians say, "When it comes to happiness, I think that happiness does not exist. "I love humans because we don't have a good thing."
